2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS: The Full-Size Luxury SUV Redefined

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS represented a significant evolution for the brand's flagship full-size SUV. Previously known as the GL-Class, the GLS moniker signified a closer alignment with the S-Class sedan, emphasizing its luxurious appointments, sophisticated technology, and commanding presence. This three-row SUV was designed to offer unparalleled comfort, advanced safety, and robust performance for families and individuals who demanded the best in a large luxury vehicle.

Highlights

  • Engine Powerhouse: The 2017 GLS offered potent and refined powertrains.

    • GLS 450 4MATIC: Powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine, producing 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine provided a smooth and capable experience for everyday driving and hauling.
    • GLS 550 4MATIC: Featured a more muscular 4.7-liter biturbo V8 engine, delivering 449 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This option was ideal for those seeking exhilarating acceleration and greater towing capability.
    • AMG GLS 63 4MATIC: The high-performance variant boasted a handcrafted 5.5-liter biturbo V8 engine, producing a formidable 577 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. This allowed for supercar-like acceleration in a large SUV package.
    • All GLS models came standard with the smooth and responsive 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes-Benz's legendary 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, ensuring confident grip and stability in various conditions.
  • Advanced Safety Features: The GLS was equipped with a comprehensive suite of standard and available safety technologies designed to protect occupants and prevent accidents.

    • COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS: This system provided visual and auditory warnings to the driver when a potential frontal collision was detected and could automatically apply the brakes if necessary to mitigate or avoid an impact.
    • ATTENTION ASSIST: This innovative feature monitored driving behavior for signs of drowsiness and alerted the driver when it was time to take a break.
    • PRE-SAFE® System: This anticipatory system could detect an impending crash and automatically prepare the vehicle by tightening the seatbelts, closing windows and the sunroof, and adjusting the seats to optimize occupant protection during a collision.
    • Optional Driver Assistance Package: This package included advanced features like DISTRONIC PLUS® with Steering Assist (adaptive cruise control with lane centering), Active Blind Spot Assist, and Active Lane Keeping Assist, further enhancing driver awareness and reducing the risk of accidents.
  • Trim Level Summary: The 2017 GLS was available in distinct trims, each offering a progressively more luxurious and powerful experience.

    • GLS 450 4MATIC: The entry point, offering a well-appointed and comfortable experience with its capable V6 engine and standard luxury features.
    • GLS 550 4MATIC: Stepped up the performance and luxury with the V8 engine, enhanced interior materials, and additional standard amenities.
    • AMG GLS 63 4MATIC: The pinnacle of performance, featuring aggressive styling, a potent V8, sport-tuned suspension, and a host of AMG-specific performance enhancements.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Spacious and Luxurious Interior: The GLS offered a generous cabin with ample space for seven occupants. High-quality materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and advanced comfort features like heated and ventilated seats, multi-contour seating with massage functions (on higher trims), and a panoramic sunroof created a serene and opulent environment.
    • Sophisticated Infotainment: The COMAND® infotainment system provided a user-friendly interface for navigation, audio, and connectivity features. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration were available, ensuring seamless smartphone connectivity.
    • Adaptive Air Suspension (AIRMATIC): Standard on most trims, AIRMATIC allowed for adjustable ride height and damping, providing a plush and composed ride over various road surfaces while also improving handling dynamics.
    • Impressive Towing Capacity: The GLS offered robust towing capabilities, making it a practical choice for those who need to haul trailers or boats.

What to Expect

Owning a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS is typically characterized by a sophisticated and premium ownership experience. Expect a vehicle that excels in comfort and quietness, making long journeys enjoyable. The advanced technology within the cabin is generally intuitive to use, and the vehicle’s performance, especially from the V8 models, is impressive.

  • Maintenance: As with any luxury vehicle, maintenance costs for the GLS are generally higher than for non-luxury brands. Regular oil changes, fluid checks, and filter replacements are crucial. Expect to service your GLS at a Mercedes-Benz dealership or a qualified independent mechanic specializing in German luxury cars. Scheduled maintenance intervals are typically every 10,000 miles or annually. Parts and labor can be more expensive, so budgeting for these is advisable. Common maintenance items might include brake pad replacements, tire rotations, and potential replacement of air suspension components over time, especially as the vehicle ages.

  • Insurance: Insurance premiums for the 2017 GLS will likely be higher than for more mainstream SUVs due to its luxury branding, advanced technology, and higher repair costs in the event of an accident. Factors influencing your premium will include your driving record, location, coverage levels, and the specific trim level of the GLS you choose. It’s always recommended to obtain insurance quotes from multiple providers before purchasing.

Potential Considerations

While the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS is a highly desirable vehicle, there are a few potential considerations buyers should be aware of:

  • Fuel Economy: Given its size and powerful engines, the GLS is not the most fuel-efficient vehicle on the market. The V8 models, in particular, will consume more fuel, especially in city driving. This is a common trade-off for the performance and luxury offered.

  • Third-Row Space: While the GLS offers a third row, it is best suited for children or smaller adults on shorter journeys. Adults may find the space somewhat limited for extended periods, especially in terms of legroom and headroom.

  • Complexity of Technology: While the technology is advanced and beneficial, some owners may find the sheer number of features and settings in the COMAND® system to be initially overwhelming. Familiarizing oneself with the owner's manual or seeking assistance from a dealership is recommended.

  • Ride Comfort vs. Sportiness (AMG): While the GLS offers a comfortable ride, the AMG GLS 63, with its performance-oriented suspension, can feel firmer than the standard models. This is a deliberate choice for enhanced handling but may be a consideration for those prioritizing ultimate plushness above all else.

Overall Summary

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS stands as a formidable contender in the full-size luxury SUV segment. It masterfully blends opulent comfort, cutting-edge technology, and potent performance, offering a truly premium driving experience for families and discerning individuals. While its fuel consumption and third-row space are typical considerations for its class, the GLS delivers on its promise of refined luxury, advanced safety, and impressive capability, making it a compelling choice for those seeking the ultimate in a German luxury SUV.
